DHS hopeful Clarke denies plagiarism in master's thesis

Clarke told conservative radio host Vicki McKenna during an interview: "I'm both honored and humbled to be appointed to this position by Secretary Kelly, working for the Trump administration".

The Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, removed Clarke's thesis on homeland security from its website on Saturday and is now conducting an investigation.

The thesis is titled Making US security and privacy rights compatible and, according to CNN, plagiarizes other sources 47 times.

Among the almost four dozen instances cited by the news network are those involving sources from the American Civil Liberties Union, the 9/11 Commission Report and the Pew Research Center.

Controversial Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who this week announced he will be joining Donald Trump's administration as assistant secretary in the Department of Homeland Security, plagiarized sections of his 2013 master's thesis on U.S. security, a CNN KFile review has found. In an email to the Milwaukee Journal SentinelClarke said that "only someone with a political agenda would say this is plagiarism".

In response to CNN's report, the Naval Postgraduate School said they are opening an investigation into Clark's thesis. (@SheriffClarke) May 20, 2017This @CNN hack @KFILE oppo research MO is to accuse plagiarism. "I'm next. Did it to Rand Paul, Monica Crowley et al".

Clarke campaigned for Trump during the 2016 election and has been one of his most prominent supporters since the election.

The Department of Homeland Security has not confirmed Clarke's appointment as assistant secretary.

"Guy is a sleaze bag'" he tweeted.

Clarke is known for his alignment with Pr*sident Donald Trump, tough talk, disgust with dissent, and over-the-top characterizations of people he disagrees with, including Black Lives Matter and anyone to the left of Genghis Khan.

Clarke has made several questionable comments in the past. And in March, the Associated Press reported that four people - including a newborn baby - died at the jail within a six-month period a year ago. The deaths are being investigated, and prosecutors say one of the inmates died from dehydration after jail staff cut off water access to his cell.
